Senegal's 'plastic man' helps raise awareness about plastic pollution

He walks through Dakar and other parts of the country wearing an eye-catching outfit made from discarded plastic waste. His goal is to highlight the scale of the problem and urge authorities to enforce environmental protection laws.
